I just ate.
Director Chen sent a message.
Wu An quickly led his men to the homestay construction site. There was an advantage to not coming here often; Wu An could ask around wherever he went and always managed to find someone to talk to.
Xiao Han followed along, occasionally asking a question.
Mai Hangyu and Li Xin followed closely behind, both of them looking a little nervous, glancing at the intersection every now and then.
Seeing this, Wu An said, "Hangyu, Li Xin, you two relax."
Mai Hangyu: "Brother, can I have a cigarette?"
"cannot."
"I'm so nervous, I'm afraid I'll stutter when I speak."
"Have you ever met the university president?"
"I've definitely seen them before."
Have you chatted?
"No, but I did have dinner with our department dean."
"That's fine. The highest-ranking leader coming later will be from the city, and he certainly won't be the top official. He'll probably be a director in charge of a certain bureau, and in terms of rank, he'll be about the same as your university department dean."
"Really?"
Mai Hangyu was somewhat surprised.
Old Mai was also there, and he said with a smile, "Ah An didn't lie to you, that's how it is."
Mai Hangyu slapped his forehead: "If I had heard you say that earlier, I wouldn't have challenged the dean to a drinking contest."
Everyone burst into laughter.
This interruption eased Mai Hangyu and Li Xin's tension.
Everything is ready.
From afar, I could see a group of people walking towards me, all wearing polo shirts. The person in the middle had an extraordinary aura.
Director Chen was standing beside him, talking.
Wu An nodded to himself.
Director Chen is impressive. Being able to give a presentation in this kind of setting makes it hard for him not to make progress in the future.
Upon arriving at the homestay project site, everyone was wearing helmets, which was a deliberate arrangement by Wu An, who had them prepared in advance.
Upon entering the construction site, Director Chen beckoned Wu An to come forward.
The county and city leaders wore smiles and seemed approachable; in fact, they were quite kind. They first praised others and then praised what they had done.
Wu An is not bad either.
Focusing on rural revitalization, he mentioned starting a business in his hometown and then said that he created jobs for the village, emphasizing that more villagers do not need to leave their homes to work elsewhere and can earn money to support their families right at their doorstep.
His words were spoken with neither arrogance nor servility.
The leader listened and nodded repeatedly, praising the speaker.
Wu An didn't say much empty talk, but focused on how to build a homestay, how to attract customers, and how to showcase the beautiful mountains and rivers of his hometown to tourists from all over the world.
The leader was very satisfied and said, "Young man, very good. Keep up the good work, and I wish you success."
"I also have to remind you that you must stay true to your original aspirations."
"We should contribute to the development of our hometown, not hinder or tarnish it."
Wu An quickly assured him, "Please supervise, leaders."
The leader smiled and said, "Okay, okay," and asked what difficulties he might be facing, urging him to report them promptly and resolve them in a timely manner. He also suggested that Wu An, as a pioneer, should be willing to take on more responsibility, paving the way for those who follow, and establishing industry rules.
Wu An was overjoyed to hear his leader say that.
Leader Qi occasionally said a few words, but he just nodded repeatedly and smiled. Wu An pointed out that the town was very supportive, allocating resources and helping to apply for interest-free loans.
The leader in charge of this matter received praise for this.
Initially, the interest-free loan was rejected by Leader Qi. Later, Leader Xi somehow found out about it, obtained the necessary documents, and helped to get it approved.
As the leader, he chatted cordially with Wu An for quite a while, spending two hours just in the town's village.
The whole process.
Han Song documented the entire process. When he learned that a reporter was interviewing him, the leader didn't say anything. Instead, he took some photos of the guesthouse's more distinctive features, saying it was to help promote it.
During the break between leaving the village in the town and heading to the next village, the leader and his secretary chatted.
"Should we schedule a meeting with that reporter?"
"Need not."
"That young man is quite remarkable."
"I think it's audacity; they even dare to scheme against you."
“Hey, we’re in the service business, this is a good thing, it’s good for everyone. That homestay is really good, if it can be successful, it can be used as a model for promotion.”
"I will continue to follow up."
"Okay, sure."
Director Chen and the others did not leave with them, but stayed in the village and held a small celebration at the village committee.
This time, Zhenzhong Village has gained significant exposure in the town and even the county.
Wu An wasn't just grinning foolishly; he also pulled out the development plan he had devised in his spare time.
in short.
It involves using the homestay project as a starting point for diversified development.
Wu An was no longer satisfied with small-scale operations; he wanted to create a tourist district that covered all aspects of eating, drinking, and entertainment.
It's similar to those "ancient towns" in the Jiangnan region. They're called ancient towns, but they're really just a few streets, yet they're enough to make tourists open their wallets.
If he had presented this development plan beforehand, not only would the town, but even the village probably wouldn't have supported him. But after the big leader made the trip, not to mention others, Director Chen is now a hundred percent supportive.
The investment is substantial.
Wu An didn't intend to take it all on his own. Raising investment not only helped to share the risks, but also allowed experienced people to join, saving them from many detours.
With the support of the town and village, and the unique natural environment here, it would be hard not to succeed.
As for remoteness and inconvenient transportation, these are problems that need to be solved. Moreover, for tourists who are keen on travel and pursue wilderness and freedom, these are not issues at all.
After an hour of discussion at the village committee, Wu An realized that no conclusion could be reached in a short time, so he left the development plan and took his leave.
What the village needs to do is to integrate land resources and participate in the project by contributing land as shares. As for the specific share ratio, that will need to be negotiated later.
This isn't something that can be decided on a whim.
Wu An rose to take his leave.
Director Chen saw him off at the door, saying that the village would handle things as soon as possible and that Wu An should prepare the specific procedures early.
Wu An agreed.
Gu Anran picked him up in her car and drove straight to the county.
Halfway there.
Old Jiang called to say that a signing ceremony would be held in the village tomorrow. Coincidentally, county and city leaders also said they would come to join in the fun after hearing about it.
The Xiaoxi Village Committee is now on high alert, and Wu Yingwei is making urgent preparations.
Old Jiang asked Wu An where he was.
Wu An said he was on his way to the county.
Old Jiang exclaimed in surprise: "Such a big thing, aren't you going to come and join in the fun?"
Wu An shook his head: "What a load of crap."
"None of my business."
"Shen Nan is the one who's stealing the spotlight."
Old Jiangyin said tentatively, "That's exactly what I meant. Are you just going to stand by and watch?"
Wu An was taken aback and said, "You're right. We can't just watch; we have to participate too."
Old Jiang: "Is there anything you need me to do?"
Wu An said, "If you run into Shen Nan, give him a good pat on the back, preferably make him float away."
Old Jiang chuckled: "That's simple, it's just a case of flattery to kill."
After finishing his call with Lao Jiang, Wu An called Lin Hu.
Lin Hu and Shen Nan haven't completely fallen out yet, so this is the perfect opportunity to put them to use.
Lin Hu came to remind Shen Nan to cause trouble last time, and he owed him a favor; now it's time to repay it.
You ask.
Asking Lin Hu for help is still considered repaying a favor.
Wu An is giving Lin Hu a chance.
If Lin Hu had any brains, he would have seized the opportunity.
Lin Hu answered the call on the second attempt.
"Ah An, is something the matter?"
"Something's up. Shen Nan is going to be the star of tomorrow, which is a good thing. Tonight, we can go find Shen Nan to celebrate and have a good drink."
"Would Shen Nan be willing?"
“You’re looking for Wu Yingjin. Wu Yingjin has become the deputy director, but he hasn’t treated everyone to a meal yet. Wu Yingjin is stingy and doesn’t like to spend money, but he definitely doesn’t mind letting Shen Nan spend money.”
"Just say that when the time comes..."
Wu An gave Lin Hu a thorough explanation, and Lin Hu readily agreed, "Okay, I understand."
Hang up the phone.
Wu An breathed a sigh of relief. Plans can't keep up with changes, so he couldn't stay in the county for too long. He had to get back to the village early tomorrow to watch the play.
